Physical outcome measures as measured at baseline (T1) and the end of the rehabilitation programme (T2), mean/median difference and statistical results

Variables	T1	T2	Diff T2–T1	pvalue	Effect size
Mini-BEST (n = 17), median (range)	22.0 (9–26)	24.0 (15–27)	2.0	0.01	0.7
TUG (n = 15), mean (SD)	10.2 (5.2)	9.2 (3.3)	–1.0	0.11	0.2
6MWT (n = 13), mean (SD)	488.2 (109.7)	506.2 (112.8)	18.0	0.12	0.2

Effect size (Cohen’s d) was calculated when the p-value was <0.2. Effect sizes <0.2 are considered trivial, 0.2 represents a small effect size, 0.5 a medium effect size and 0.8 a large effect size (34). A reduced number of patients is due to missing data. p-value ≤ 0.05 in bold.

Mini-BEST: Mini-Balance Evaluation Systems Test; TUG: Timed Up and Go test; 6MWT: 6-Minute Walk Test; Diff: difference; SD: standard deviation.
